It was below freezing last night, so I was covering my milkweed. I found 54 eggs on 6 common milkweed plants in my garden! I brought them to school to keep them from freezing in the cold weather that is forecast for the next week. We will watch for them to hatch and feed the caterpillars in kindergarten! We haven't seen an adult yet this season, but we know one was there!

Editor's Note: The presence of eggs means an adult monarchs has arrived in this area. Therefore, we are adding this egg report to the migration map.
